Compared to conventional technology, DEFERUM has the following advantages:
- No electricity consumed in the process
- No moving or rotating parts are used in the process
- No sheltering required — Used in all weather conditions
- No electronic devices are used in the process
- No valves are used in the process
- Eco-friendly high iron removal — No chemical reagents are used in the process
- Affordable — The system is inexpensive and easy to fabricate from only a few types of materials
- Backwash function is based entirely on gravity force and difference of water levels. It is also self-regulating.
- No specialized equipment is required for the construction of the plant
- Quick construction and commissioning
- Combined continuous removal of iron, dissolved gasses, suspended solids and turbidity
- The system does not require an operator
- Very low failure factor due to absence of mechanical or electrical devices
- Very low maintenance
- The system operation self-adapts to changing contaminant loadings
- A very small amount of water is required for backwash
- Filtering media has a life-span of 25 years
- No parts or elements to be replaced on a regular basis
- The plant is extremely resilient to physical mishandling
